I refer to the Department of Health’s Community Child Health Program, and I ask, in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 financial years, what was the overall ‘Did Not Attend’ rate of parents who did not keep appointments for a scheduled child health check?

Child health checks while encouraged are not mandatory. Families can choose to opt in to access child health services.
